Shortflatt Tower Wedding - Lucy and Jonathan

Lucy and Jon’s wedding was a lovely traditional June celebration in the Northumberland countryside. The day began with preparations at Shortflatt Tower before everyone headed to St Robert of Newminster Roman Catholic Church for the ceremony. Afterwards, guests returned to Shortflatt Tower for the reception and evening celebrations.

Lucy wore a simple dress with beautiful beaded sleeves that suited the traditional countryside style of the day perfectly. The weather stayed mostly overcast, with some rain arriving during the drinks reception, so we took some of the couple portraits inside the tower which gave the photographs a really timeless feel. There were also lots of fun moments throughout the day with their bridal party, along with lawn games after dinner once everyone relaxed into the celebrations.

One of the standout moments came when Lucy and Jon climbed the stairs up to the roof of the tower to wave down to their guests below — such a fun moment and brilliant for photographs. The celebrations then carried on into the evening with their first dance and a packed dance floor afterwards.
